Naya Homes operates a technology-driven vacation rental management platform that lists properties across more than 15 OTAs, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy and Vrbo. The company manages over 400 properties—apartments, houses, villas and vacation units—and has hosted more than 25,000 guests. It operates without lease arbitrage or minimum guarantees, using engineering, data science and process-driven operations to provide transparency and drive profitability for property owners. In less than two years since inception the company has doubled its growth targets and expects to triple growth over the next 12 months. Naya Homes is expanding its footprint across Mexico and will use new funding to launch operations in ten additional travel destinations including Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Venturas, Puerto Morelos, La Paz, Todos Santos, Puerto Escondido, Acapulco, Valle de Bravo and San Miguel de Allende. Existing markets include Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Mexico City and Los Cabos. Naya Homes operates a vacation and short-term rental management platform that serves real estate investors and homeowners across a range of property types, from individual apartments to vacation villas. The company positions itself as an asset-light operator that avoids master leases used by some Latin American incumbents and aims to maximize profitability for varied properties. Naya began operations in Puerto Vallarta in August and plans to launch in Mexico City with a 15-unit building in Polanco in September. Its founding team includes two former Uber staffers and several former Uber Latin America executives are involved as investors. The startup faces competition from regional players including Despegar (which has expanded its vacation rentals portfolio) and Mexico City–based Casai. Financially, Naya has raised a $5 million funding round following a $600,000 pre-seed in March 2022.
